Ariat cuts walking 82%, doubles productivity

The Challenge

Inefficient operations and limited control

Multiple 3PL facilities with inconsistent technology, made it difficult for Ariat to control operations and end-customer experience.

Physically demanding work environment

Employees were strained by physical labor, walking up to 22 miles a day and lifting bulky boxes.

Manual processes and high SKU velocity

Facilities were plagued by inefficiencies due to manual processes and high SKU velocity, leading to overnight work to configure efficient throughput sequences.

The Solution

Gained operational efficiency and control

Infios WM provided a centralized, flexible, and scalable solution that allows Ariat to optimize operations and have full control over their distribution hub.

Improved working conditions with reduced physical labor

Infios WM integration with Geekplus Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) significantly reduced physical demands on employees, decreasing steps from 40,000 to 7,000 per day.

Enhanced accuracy and productivity

Ease of use combined with cross-checking at picking stations increases accuracy and productivity, leading to more satisfied customers.

Simplified training and rapid deployment boosts morale

An intuitive user interface, streamlined processes and simplified training accelerated implementation and empowered employees.
